Scallywags is AAAAIGHT. I've been here a few times now for the infamous Yelp Board Game Events and they've always accomodated us graciously as we while away the evening surrounded by Scrabble, or Scattergories or Zombie Fluxx. (You must play the latter if you haven't already.)
The food is more miss than hit. Their beef burger was so-so, and I would definitely avoid the curry fries. I've heard rumours about their pad thai, but that's yet untried by me. They do have quite an impressive list of pints though (including Guinness), so I'd prioritize grog over grub in this establishment.
The bar is fairly spacious and they apparently have a large second floor that can be booked for events. When I have been there, service has always been friendly and fast and the location couldn't be any more convenient transit-wise. It's located at the southwest corner of Yonge and St. Clair Ave, by the St. Clair TTC subway station. A solid "compromise" spot for friends that live uptown and downtown. In the 'twain ye shall meet! Why am I talking like this.
Obligatory Title Pun: Perfect for KNAVE-L gazers.
Menu Readability: You know, for a pub menu it's not bad. Kind of twisted typefaces; definitely not your standard "Duke Of" nonsense.
Need to mention: A reliable place to catch soccer and rugby games. I've watched many a World Cup and EUFA match here.
What this place teaches me about myself: I'm prepared for a zombie attack. Are you?
